men are likely TO Interest themselves 10
matters TO which attention is called
merely through circulars? Successful
husiness scne,nes are not generally
nush,d into operation through circular-.
And. even If Ihey we're. this is not one OF
those cases. The men 10 be interested
in this matter are ranchmen, of all
classes MANY of whom live remote from
business and trade oenters and would
not nav attention TO any printed cir

what tn make Offs contents, There are
a hundred and one objections, or en-
oulries, or suggestions. that would rise
70 the Inns of a practical rancher which
no circular could answer, and which
could only be met by the personal and
direct replies of some thoroughly posted
and authorized agent. Until such agent
ia sent. and sucn objections are met, or
such enuuiries answered. or such sug-
yestions satisfactorily disposed OF, IL Is
safe tn saw that the needed subscriptions
will not be forthcoming. 1t is the opin-
ion of nractical cattle and sheen men
in Southwestern Texas, men who have
given attention and real thought to this
matter. that were this meat refrigeration
scheme properly before the ranchmen of
this whole section, there would not be
,loubt of its intimate success.
The LIGHT deems the matter of such
vital inheritance TO the whole stock
growing interests of the south west, that
il cannot refrain from urging upon the
general committee, of which FL. K. Bar
